The "Pregnant Man," as he's been dubbed by the meda, is expecting a third bundle of joy, as reported by MomLogic. Part of me is all, "Yay, transgender rights" and such. And part of me is like, "Attention whore much?" You'd think he was Michelle Duggar with the way he milks (no pun attended) his pregnancy for all it's worth.
Or maybe he's just mad that the "Second Pregnant Man" is stealing away some of his thunder.

I couldn't care less that the "Pregnant Man" is pregnant again. He has a uterus like the millions of pregnant women across the country, so whoopie! What gets me is the media reports on this open mouthed, as if Thomas Beatie is the ultimate freak show, like he's sprouted another head or eats live chickens or something. And then there's Beatie, posing away with one hand on his swelling belly and a giant grin on his face, as if to say, "Heck, if you pay me for a book deal, I'll even let you throw stuff at me." Way to represent.
In this era of reality television, fame is the be-all, end-all symbol of success for many people, no matter how they achieve it. Act like a lunatic? Get your own TV show (Omarosa). Shoot somebody? Get a book deal (Amy Fisher). Be the worst people on Earth? Make millions (Speidi). These people have never grown beyond the "any attention is good attention" stage in their development, and our culture is worse off for it.
So Pregnant Men, we get it. You are transgendered men who still have some factory-installed equipment. And you used it. But have a little dignity and stay off of The Insider, mmkay?
